Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 55 Embarrassment
The sound was so loud that Wang Daoqiu looked up and saw a thin middle-aged scholar in his 30s on the third floor of an inn next to him. He was looking at him and the team with an indignant look from the window. Patrol sergeant.

They are enthusiastic people and are safeguarding the dignity of the law. Wang Daoqiu has nothing to say.So he sat on the horse and looked at the middle-aged scholar awkwardly.

Wang Daoqiu is fastidious, sensible, and aware of his own mistakes.The group of patrol sergeants were very dissatisfied with the middle-aged scholar's arrogance in daring to teach them how to do things, and they all looked at the middle-aged scholar angrily.

When the middle-aged scholar saw his righteous words, the sergeants were not only not ashamed when they heard it, but they actually stood there and did not pick people up!He was also angrier.So the tone became even higher, and he pointed at Wang Daoqiu and shouted: "This son committed the night, why don't you take him, and you want to call it private?"

"Scholar, read your book. This gentleman is from our government. He is currently on official business. Don't lie, close the window quickly, and continue studying hard in the cold window!"

Seeing that he and others had stopped talking, the middle-aged scholar still refused to let go. The flag officer leading the patrol sergeant couldn't help but speak.

When he heard this little flag officer's lies that were obviously deception, the middle-aged scholar became even more angry. He pointed at Wang Daoqiu and shouted at the little flag officer: "Who are you kidding? This guy is wearing a student uniform. He looks to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is still riding a tall horse. Is this clearly a noble son of a certain family? How could he be an official? You are practicing favoritism, and I will report your illegal behavior to a competent official."

"Hahahaha, scholar, you want to report me! It's midnight, and all the innkeepers have not come to the door. How can you come out and report? Hahahaha!"

"Arrogant, arrogant, shameless man, just wait for you."

Although he was upright and upholding justice, he was ridiculed by these law enforcers. The middle-aged scholar quit his job, turned around and left the window angrily.

Seeing the attitude of that middle-aged scholar, I'm afraid things won't go well here.So the little flag officer who patrolled the city walked up to Wang Daoqiu's horse, clasped his fists and bowed, and said, "Sir, get out of here quickly! That scholar is not a good person."

"I'm causing trouble to you. With this little money, you can take your brothers to have some tea. By the way, don't embarrass that scholar."

As he spoke, Wang Daoqiu took two cents of broken silver from his sleeve and threw it to the little flag officer.

The little flag officer skillfully accepted Wang Daoqiu's reward, holding the pieces of silver in his hands. He smiled and flattered Wang Daoqiu and said, "Don't worry, sir. That guy is a candidate for going to Beijing to take the exam. A scholar with a good reputation, The little ones don’t dare to hit or scold him.”

That's right, isn't it enough to punish a doctor?After understanding this, Wang Daoqiu stopped staying so long and left quickly, lest the scholar come down later and drag himself to see the official.

Not long after Wang Daoqiu left, the middle-aged scholar took off the door of the inn and got out.As soon as he came out, he pointed at the back of Wang Daoqiu who was riding away, and shouted angrily at the little flag officer patrolling the city: "You, you, you are so bold, you dare to let people go without permission."

"Scholar, don't accuse a good person unjustly. As I said, the person just now is from my official family and is on official business..."

"Pa", the little flag officer was talking nonsense seriously!When the middle-aged scholar saw that the little flag officer was treating him like a monkey, he became angry and raised his hand to give the little flag officer a big mouth.Then he was angry at the little flag officer patrolling the city.

The middle-aged scholar dared to give him a slap in the face in public, and the flag officer patrolling the city was also angry.With a voice much louder than that of the middle-aged scholar, he interrupted the middle-aged scholar and said: "Scholar, whether I, Zhou Haibin, have shown favoritism, the superior officer will decide for himself. And you are still standing on the street during the third watch, This is indeed a night off. In addition, you beat the official and gave me a slap in the face in public, which everyone witnessed with their own eyes."

After saying this, the patrol officer pointed to the patrol sergeants behind him and the crowds of melon-eating people upstairs on both sides of the street who were opening their windows to watch the excitement, signaling that he had witnesses. .

After pointing out the witnesses, the little flag officer who patrolled the city continued: "Scholar, you came to Beijing to take the exam, right? Since you are a scholar with a good reputation, I will leave you some dignity. You can come with us to Wuhan." Let’s take a trip to the city’s army and horse department!”

"Let's go. I'm afraid you won't be able to wait?"

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged scholar followed the patrolling sergeant to the Wucheng Bingma Division.

Not mentioning the middle-aged scholar, Wang Daoqiu rode back to the inner palace prison alley, the fat man's residence.After getting off his horse and pushing the door open, he found that the courtyard door was bolted, but through the crack in the door, Wang Daoqiu saw that the lights in the rooms of Fatty, Yin Zhengmao, and Zhang Juzheng were still on.

So Wang Daoqiu slapped the door with his hand and peeked in through the crack in the door. When he saw the fat man who was the first to open the door and rush out, he yelled: "Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, I'm back, open the door for me quickly. "

"Uh, it's Liangzhen! I guessed it was you who knocked on the door this late at night."

Hearing Wang Daoqiu's voice, the fat man happily ran to open the door for Wang Daoqiu while talking.

As soon as the door opened and Wang Daoqiu was seen, the fat man complained: "Liangzhen! What kind of business partner are you with the Yue family? They want you to stay with them for two days. You haven't come back these two days, but you've worried us to death!"

"That's right, that's right. No matter how busy you are, Liangzhen, you still have to come back so that we can see you! Without seeing you, the three of us are in a state of anxiety and are never at ease."

"Liangzhen, the biggest thing for you and me now is the exam next year. Don't delay your studies because of those business affairs."

When the fat man ran to open the door, Yin Zhengmao and Zhang Juzheng also came out of the room, and when they saw Wang Daoqiu, they scolded for a while.Wang Daoqiu was also busy making amends, and then went to lead the horse.

As soon as they saw this handsome tall horse, the three of them inquired about Wang Daoqiu again.Wang Daoqiu did not dare to say that it was a gift from Lu Bing, so he had to lie and say that it was temporarily sent to him by a wealthy businessman.

After a while of lies, Fatty, Yin Zhengmao and Zhang Juzheng were sent away. Wang Daoqiu went to the kitchen to boil hot water, soaked his feet, and went back to the house to sleep.When Wang Daoqiu got up early the next morning, he went out and saw Mrs. Qiu leading the little girl Sanniang to wash clothes by the well.The sound of Wang Daoqiu opening the door alarmed the mother and daughter. Seeing Wang Daoqiu, Qiu's sister-in-law just smiled at Wang Daoqiu, then stood up and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

When the little girl Sanniang saw Wang Daoqiu, she was happy. She smiled innocently and ran towards Wang Daoqiu with her short legs.

Picking up the little girl who was running over from the ground, Wang Daoqiu smiled and teased the little girl: "Little Sanniang, have you missed Uncle Wang in the past two days?"

"Think about it." After hearing Wang Daoqiu's question, Xiao Sanniang leaned into Wang Daoqiu's ear and whispered.

You are so careful when speaking. My mistress doesn’t talk to me like this normally!Wang Daoqiu was very surprised by Xiao Sanniang's abnormality.So he also leaned close to Xiao Sanniang's little ear and asked in a low voice: "Sanniang, what's wrong? Why are you so careful about what you say today!"

"It's cold. Uncle Yin, Uncle Zhang, and Master Jiang don't go out during the day. They just stay in the house and study. Mother said that Sanniang can't speak loudly, or she will be beaten!"

After Wang Daoqiu asked, the little Sanniang pulled Wang Daoqiu's ear and whispered again.

Well, I see, it turns out that the temperature has dropped quickly in the past two days, and the three of them have already started squatting in the house in advance.

Understanding the reason, Wang Daoqiu smiled and whispered, making a face and said: "Uncle will not speak loudly from now on, just like Sanniang. Let's go to uncle's room. Uncle will bring peach cakes for Sanniang to eat."

"No, no, mom is steaming big meat buns on the stove! Sanniang wants to keep her belly and eat big meat buns."

"What a little smart guy."

Seeing Sanniang's cuteness, Wang Daoqiu was so cute that he shaved Sanniang's nose.Then he walked towards Mrs. Qiu who had brought out a plate of hot water.

As soon as she came to Qiu's side, Qiu's wife lowered her voice and said: "Xie Yuanlang, in the past two days when you were away, our hospital's regulations have been changed. Several gentlemen don't go out during the day now, they just stay in the house to study. , I made two meals for lunch and dinner. I went out to buy the meal in the morning and brought it back to eat. Since Mr. Xie Yuan is up now, I will ask the three masters to come out for dinner. "

"Okay, let's go!"

"Hey, good!"

After speaking to Wang Daoqiu, Mrs. Qiu stood in the yard and loudly told Yin Zhengmao, Zhang Juzheng, and Fatty to stop studying the books and eat their meals first.

After Mrs. Qiu called people, Yin Zhengmao, Zhang Juzheng, and Fatty came out of the house one after another. After greeting Wang Daoqiu, they went to the main hall to wait for Wang Daoqiu to come to eat together.

Wang Daoqiu didn't want to wait any longer, so he quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth. After completing his personal hygiene, he hurried to the main hall.

As soon as they entered, Qiu's sister-in-law had already placed steamed buns, meat cakes, and soy milk and fried dough sticks on the table, and Yin Zhengmao and the other three were sitting there chatting and waiting for Wang Daoqiu.

Seeing Wang Daoqiu come in, Yin Zhengmao rushed to say: "Brother Liangzhen, I really hate the injustice of heaven! Why don't you give me a genius brain? Then I, Yin Zhengmao, dare to sleep until midnight."

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Yin Zhengmao's implication that Wang Daoqiu was "lazy" made both Zhang Juzheng and Fatty laugh, and made Wang Daoqiu very embarrassed.Wang Daoqiu scratched his head and said with an awkward smile: "My little brother is indeed a little sleepy, which makes my brother laugh."

"You're just lethargic! Brother, do you know? I, Shuda and Zhijian, two brothers, never go to bed before the third watch every night, and there is no morning after the rooster crows three times. We can’t afford it. Just ask Mrs. Qiu, which day did she buy breakfast these two days? Aren’t the three of us studying? Because of your lethargy, today’s breakfast has to be heated in the pot first! Haha Ha ha!"

Ma De, it's so embarrassing. Because of myself, I made other people's meals wrong. This is so embarrassing. At this moment, Wang Daoqiu was so ashamed that he was embarrassed to look at the three of them.

At this moment, the fat man added another blow and said: "Yes, Liangzhen, I noticed that you have changed since you came to Beijing. In the past, the villagers all knew that your house was full of people every night. You are the last to turn off the lights in the village, and the first to light the lights in the village every morning. Because of your hard work, I have been beaten by my father since I was a child. My father always asked me to learn from you. But since I came to Beijing, I noticed that you go to bed early and get up late every day. Liangzhen, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, eat quickly, eat quickly, and go back to the room to study after eating."

"Hahahaha"

"Hahahaha"

Seeing Wang Daoqiu messing around now, the fat man with the worst grades among the group was so ashamed that he felt ashamed.This made Yin Zhengmao and Zhang Juzheng burst into laughter.
